uhhh....Bruce...keep up with the discussion. let me state this again. this IS for system-wide bookmarks or first time user settings. Either would be acceptable. /etc/skel is for per-user defaults yes...however only handles those users who have not even been created. This is good, but only handles 1/3 of the problem. I have submitted a bug to KDE to address the true needs which is a sysytem-wide bookmarks file that if it exists would be included into the Bookmarks menu in the same way the Netscape Bookmarks are. > > no it does not. it only does part of what we want.
